DPAC aims to be a repository and promoter of canadian poetry and poetics in audiovisual, computer generated, and other non-print formats.
AGM minutes posted, forum discussions
The minutes of our first AGM have been posted at http://digitalpoetryarchive.ca/minutes_AGM09 and we're on our way with a Board of Directors and the beginnings of a gameplan.
Please use our new forum discussions: http://digitalpoetryarchive.ca/forum
First order of business: confirm the bank account, get our funding options lined up with a description of our first pilot project, establish good communications habits.
About this site
DPAC is just getting going. We are in the early stages of organising ourselves and building the site, so there is no archival content here yet, just planning and background information.
However, we hope to begin presenting material to the public as early as this fall, with an official site launch sometime shortly after. We will also soon begin taking site memberships and establish a mailing list for news and announcements. So, please return regularly to check on our progress, and if you would like to get involved, please contact us.
Mission
The purposes of the society are:
a) to preserve and digitize endangered electronic recordings and artworks relevant to Canadian poetry;
b) to create a public archive of collected materials for educational and cultural purposes;
c) to publish commercial educational resources for the study of Canadian poetry and poetics;
d) to promote and partner with individuals and cultural organizations involved in the development of digital poetry.
